A geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like bowls and rounded-rectangle counters. Strokes are consistently heavy with clean, crisp terminals and minimal contrast, producing a sturdy, modular texture. Corners are mostly softened rather than sharp, and curves resolve into flattened arcs, giving round letters a squarish silhouette. Proportions feel compact with wide stems and tight apertures, while spacing reads even and controlled in text.
Best suited to display settings where its heavy, geometric shapes can read clearly and set a strong mood—headlines, poster titles, branding marks, product packaging, and interface or game UI elements. It can work for short passages when generous size and spacing are available, but its tight apertures and dense color favor emphatic, high-impact use over long-form text.
The overall tone is mechanical and screen-like, evoking sci‑fi interfaces and classic arcade or techno graphics. Its chunky, rounded-rectilinear forms feel utilitarian and engineered, with a distinctly retro-future personality.
The design appears intended to merge a friendly rounded finish with a strict rectilinear framework, creating a modernist, engineered look that remains approachable. It aims for strong silhouette recognition and a cohesive, grid-based rhythm across letters and figures.
Uppercase forms lean toward boxy constructions (notably the squared bowls and counters), while lowercase keeps the same rigid geometry for a consistent voice. Numerals share the same rounded-rectangular logic and appear designed for quick recognition at display sizes.
